Therefore, this step should be allotted a larger portion of the available time. There are three basic actions to be completed in this step: (1) Analyze the Mission. (2) List the Hazards. (3) Determine the Hazard Root Cause. Assessing hazards pg 8-10 - Step 2 in the process. For each hazard identified, determine the associated degree of risk in terms of probability and severity. The result of the risk assessment is a prioritized list of hazards, which ensures that controls are first identified for the most serious threat to mission or task accomplishment. The hazard list is intended for use as a guide to the relative priority of risks involved and not as an absolute order to follow. (1) Severity. (2) Probability. (3) Complete Risk Assessment.
